Never have I been so glad to throw up in my life. For more than one reason actually. I feel like I've finally got the band. I haven't had any sliming issues or PBs or stuck food or anything. I ate something I shouldn't have and it got stuck. It hurt like hell, but i figured it would go down after a bit. No such luck. I coughed and there you have it. Thankfully I was near a trash can!

But I just have to say that I'm so glad that this happened, just so I know what to expect and I feel like I'm actually experiencing it and it's going to start working. I go back for another fill on Tuesday. I went today and after having waited for over an hour in the waiting room, I got back to my doc and he wanted to put me under x-ray (which he does every time) and they had already sent all the x-ray techs home, so now I have to go back.

Well, you are now an official member of "the pb club". Lets hope you don't experience them too often though, lol.

I'm so glad someone asked what a PB was, I have been reading about this "PB" and I haven't figured it out yet. I have just had my initial consultation and I am now doing my 6 month hoop jumping for the insurance but I forgot to ask what PB was - I always think of Peanut Butter when I see it and I know that's not it because I don't think folks would mind having peanut butter.

Smiles,

Patricia

Believe me, I don't want it to happen ever again!

PB=Productive Burp

It's basically if you get something that doesn't quite want to go down and it comes back up. For me, I coughed and everything that hadn't gone down came back up, but it isn't quite throwing up.

Is PBing considered the same as throwing up? Because, I too, cough, and PB. I don't actually "throw up"....the reason I ask is because they say if you throw up too much or even a little, there's a risk of the band slipping. Is this true for PBing as well????

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
